    please explain

    Can someone please explain this piece of code:

    Code:
    int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, INT)
    {
    }
    I don't understand what the last 3 things of it mean.

    It means that the function takes three parameters that it doesn't actually use for anything. The names given are the types of the respective arguments.
